From Fiona

Hi John, I led the service at Ashburton this morning and as we follow the Christian calandar, it was "Christ the King" Sunday, a day when we traditionally celebrate Jesus as both king and servant. I wrote one of my prayers using images that came to me on the day when we honoured the life of your Mum.This was my prayer...Let us pray ..

To Jesus whom we worship as King,but who constantly comesto us as Servant.Jesus with sleeves rolled up ... and hands in the sink.Jesus in gumboots ... sweeping out sheds and milking cows.Jesus, the sign of hope in every drought...move among us ... stand among us....teach us to love ... teach us to serve.
